A cook's kitchen with F. Bertanuzzi gas range and stainless steel Liebherr refrigerator, butcher block counter-tops with a single-bowl sink, a copper countertop island with an integrated prep sink and, behind the stove, a copper backsplash almost begs you to cook! Formal dining room with large 3-bay window looking out to the gardens. Off the kitchen in the rear of the home is the library / reading room with built-in bookcases for hundreds of books and a cozy relaxed feel. The living room offers more wide-board flooring and a grand original brick and stone fireplace and hearth that is perfect for a glass of wine and a roaring fire after a long day.
